Highlights include:

• Navajo Canyon – The Navajo Canyon walls are 600 feet above the water. You will see “desert varnish”, also known as Navajo Tapestry, on the sandstone walls.
• 50/50 Wall – As high as the rock is above you, it is equally deep below you.

Scenic Dam Cruise – 90 minutes

This short but beautiful cruise takes you to the second-largest dam in the United States. A tour guide will accompany you for an immersive experience. As the boat glides through the serene waters of Wahweap Bay towards the Glen Canyon Dam, keep your camera ready to snap wildlife sightings that may include birds, fish, and other creatures native to the area.
